홍반장 팰팍 (HONG BAN JANG) | Korean Chinese Palisades Park, NJ

There's Korean food, Chinese food, and then there's Korean-Chinese food. This particular sub-genre is close to my heart, and whenever I asked friends and acquaintances about where I could find a decent bowl of those unctuous, slippery black bean noodles (called jjajangmyun), most listed Hong Ban Jang close to the tops of their lists. The jjajangmyun here are great. It's a hearty serving and a rich sauce with bits of vegetables and pork. Don't get confused when they plop a scissor next to your bowl - it's to cut the noodles down to size so they're easier to eat. At most Chinese-Korean restaurants, they've smartened up to the power of a mix-and-match menu. Hong Ban Jang has quite a few on the menu, noted in fun Korean portmanteaus like bokjjangmyun (half fried rice, half black bean noodles)

I have been here a few times and it always hits the spot. I get the 짜장면 and sweet and sour pork. Can't go wrong with thst in my opinion. I tried the fried kimchi dumplings as well the last time I was there. The outside part is really good and crispy the inside filling is okay. The workers there are friendly as well.

Pretty reliable for quality and service. We’ve only been to this location twice but always very good. The menu is slightly different Thank you! the Fort Lee location. We usually share one Jjajang Myun (black bean noodle) and order a bunch of appetizers because the sweet and hour pork is a must for every visit. I also like their ul myun. I don’t like spicy food so can’t speak for any of the jjampong.

Honestly, this place was way better than Hong Banjang in Fort Lee 🙌 If you want solid jjajang, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk, go to Hong Banjang in here! And don’t miss their beef jjamppong — seriously a must-try 🔥🍜 The tangsuyuk was spot on too 😆👌”

The OG Hong Ban Jang. At one time when the other one opened in Fort Lee I thought that one was better but now and days the one in pal park is back to being the best. Skip the one in Fort Lee and come here instead. Very tasty Jjampong.
